Hopefully, macosxhints provides a hacking solution to be able to launch Applescripts.
This is clearly not the easiest way to customize the action performed by these keys, so I used Proxi abilities to provide an easy way to manage the key behaviours.
Just download this disk image and follow the instruction given bellow.
1How to Install
You should only have to drag and drop the 4 files on the left of the window to the directory on the right and finally install the Proxi blueprint.
If after that, it’s not working (or you get an error copying the files), you’ll have to install the 4 files manually:
- open the Finder and go to /Library/Application Support/Logitech/
- right-click on the LCCDaemon file and choose "Show Package Contents"
- in the new window that opens, go to Contents/Resources
- right-click on the seraph.plugin file and choose "Show Package Contents"
- in the new window that opens, go to Contents/Resources/Scripts
- copy the files: iTunes.next track, iTunes.previous track, iTunes.stop and iTunes.playpause from the disk image provided to that directory (overwriting the existing files).
Then install the Proxi blueprint and try the buttons. They should work without any problem as before. The only difference is that you can duplicate the Proxi triggers provided in this blueprint and map them to different tasks (what about controlling Front Row, etc...)
2Creating new triggers
After installing the 4 hacked files, you only have to set applescript triggers in Proxi with the names:
- logitech_stop
- logitech_play
- logitech_prev_track
- logitech_next_track
You can add any tasks to these triggers to control whatever you want
